For many years Anne’s work has investigated dualist themes stemming from the Garden of Eden myth. Recently, with focus firmly on collapsing the Nature/Culture divide, Anne explores our relationship to Melbourne’s environment, Yarra River and Banyule’s waterways, making large-scale public art installations for Melbourne Docklands, Tilde New Music Festival, Testing Grounds, Hatch Contemporary Arts Space, Banyule’s WaterMarc and Warringal Shopping Centre. In April 2022, Anne has developed her large scale paintings in collaboration with Jutta Pryor (projections), Megan Kenny (flute) and Scott Dunbabin (bass) for the Light after Dark performance event at Dimension Art Project Space for the inaugural Banyule Open Studio 2022 weekend.
